Cookie dough brownies

Do you want to be famous?

Do you want to bring a huge smile to the face of any normal sweet-eating human being?

Then try this recipe I adapted from Blossoming Joy and Brown Eyed Baker. It’s pretty awesome. 🙂 The cookie dough has no eggs in it, so there’s no guilt when you lick the bowl. Or the mixer attachments.

COOKIE DOUGH BROWNIES

Brownie Layer

1/2c softened butter

1c semisweet chocolate chips

1c sugar

3 eggs

1tsp vanilla

1 1/4c all purpose flour

1/4tsp baking soda

Melt the chocolate chips. Cream the butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, then stir in melted chocolate. Combine flour and baking soda and add to the mixture. Use a 13x9x2 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 16-22min.

Cookie Dough Layer

1/2 softened butter

1/2c brown sugar

1/2c white sugar

3tbsp milk

1tsp vanilla

1c flour

1c semisweet chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugars. Beat in milk and vanilla. Add flour. Stir in chocolate chips. Use hands to spread batter over the top of the cooled brownies.

Tips and tricks:

If you happen to accidentally melt the chocolate chips you meant to save for the cookie dough layer, DON’T WORRY. Mix the chocolate into the rest of the cookie dough ingredients and everything will still taste awesome. 🙂
If you’re going for neatness, I’d suggest cooling the brownie layer completely before spreading the cookie dough on it, then chilling the pan again. That way, the bars will be easy to cut neatly into squares with a knife.
